Great car that needs some work to learn all of the features
The car is wonderful to drive. We also have a Tesla model 3 which is simpler to learn but much noisier on the road and less flexible for making revisions to driving program. This car is more comfortable, has more space and, is easier to climb into than the model 3. Downside is several button presses that have to be learned to park and leave the car locked. On the model 3, we just have to stop the car and put it in park. It locks itself. Also the steering wheel paddles seem unnecessary and are not being used. It's not an airplane! Our model 3 uses 1 pedal driving and will stop completely when foot off pedal. I adopted the level 3 which required using the brake to stop. I had ro learn from the dealer how to stop the car moving ahead after stopping. The conversion to 1 pedal driving changes while driving and is not a permanent setting, which can reduce driving safety due to controls changing while driving . The ionic 5 car lurches ahead too rapidly for me when the accelerator pedal is pressed after stopping. The model 3 has a gentler response. But in spite of these issues, the Ioniq 5 lid is a much better vehicle for us than the models 3. We especially love the simple heating, cooling, radio, and parking controls on the Ioniq5. There is a lot to learn before fully utilizing the wonderful features of the ioniq5. Please simplify the computer interface on the screen and on the steering wheel as much as you can. There has obviously been a lot of work planning the interface and on upgrading the car. It is an extremely well thought out and programmed electric vehicle - one of the best and perhaps the best!
